So a guy has a gun. Another guy with a gun is watching him and decides he has bad intentions. So he shoots at him and hits a bystander. The guy with bad intentions is charged with that Killing.
What if a third guy was watching the second guy and decided he had bad intentions so he shot at the second guy and hit a bystander?
⚠️ 10 Signs You’re Being Spiritually Scammed (How to Spot Deception Disguised as Revelation) “Test everything; hold fast what is good.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:21
1. 📖 The Message Contradicts or Ignores Scripture If a person’s vision, prophecy, or teaching doesn’t align completely with the Bible—or they add “new revelations”—it’s not from God.
🔴 “God told me something not in the Bible...”
2. 💰 They Sell What God Supposedly Showed Them If you must buy a book, course, or “anointed object” to access the full message, it’s a scam.
🔴 “Buy my book to find out what Jesus told me...”
3. 👑 They Become the Center of Attention, Not Christ True messengers decrease while Christ increases (John 3:30). If the focus shifts to the prophet’s “special calling,” run.
🔴 “I’m the only one Jesus chose to deliver this...”
4. 😢 They Use Tears and Drama to Cover Weak Theology Emotionalism is often used to manipulate. Even false prophets can cry.
🔴 “He cried so much... he must be telling the truth.”
5. 🤯 Their Experiences Are Sensational, Not Scriptural Talking flowers, Jesus without a body, pets in heaven, or meeting Old Testament saints in a coffee shop? These are fairy tales.
🔴 “Heaven has chocolate waterfalls and Jesus hugs trees...”
6. 🔄 Their Story Changes Over Time Truth doesn’t evolve. If someone adds new “memories” or contradictions appear, the whole thing is suspect.
🔴 “I just remembered something new from my vision 10 years ago...”
7. 👻 They Emphasize Fear, Secrets, or Superstition Be wary of fear-based messages: “3 days of darkness,” “secret Marian warnings,” or needing holy objects to be safe.
🔴 “You need these blessed candles when the demons come...”
8. ⚖️ They Lack Accountability to a Solid Church A true prophet submits to leadership and correction. Lone wolves with YouTube channels and zero oversight are dangerous.
🔴 “Churches didn’t understand my calling, so I went independent...”
9. 💔 The Fruit of Their Ministry Is Confusion, Not Holiness True revelation leads people to love Christ more and live in repentance and obedience.
🔴 “People are more obsessed with the visions than with Scripture.”
10. 🧠 They Discourage Testing or Questioning Their Message God welcomes discernment (Acts 17:11). If you’re told to “just believe” or “don’t touch the Lord’s anointed,” be cautious.
🔴 “If you doubt me, you're grieving the Spirit...”
🛡️ Stay Grounded in Truth God doesn’t speak in riddles, chaos, or contradictions. He speaks through Scripture, by the Holy Spirit, exalting Christ alone.
“If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no light.” — Isaiah 8:20
I know it's a social faux pas to talk about dreams, but damn. This one won't let go.
People were talking about nuclear war. Somebody kept pressuring me about God: my disbelief, that I needed to get right, like now. I shrugged them off.
Then the stars disappeared. The color green went away. It just went away. Wherever there had been green, there wasn't any green any more. Then more colors started to go. Slowly, all of these things started just disappearing from the world, but not all at once. It was incremental.
And the realization dawns on me we are in some kind of matrix and it is being shut down.
The reason dream-talk is frowned on is because we all know you can't communicate to anybody else the significance of your dream experience. But God damn that dream has stuck with me all morning. The sense of absolute dread. I began praying in the dream, but the sense was that I was too late.
Some three different people came to me in the dream after that, all in states of panic, but all with different answers (we have to go to such and such a place, or we need to do such and such a thing; I can't remember any of their plans).
When I woke up, I thought: you need to stop paying attention to Israel for a while.
